The Yale rooters slowly were fall- ing back into the gloom of past football seasons, when triumphs were few and far between. The new era under Coach Howie Odell ap- parently wasn’t to be the thing all had expected. After the pounding suffered from the Penn eleven, Yale’s eleven jour- nyed to Baltimore over the weekend and was outpointed by the Navy, 13 to 6. The Middies stood of a determined Eli passing threat in the final period to take the game.
